Hi,
It is good for those people who require 100% uptime and scalability. However, there is lack of control. It is basically shared hosting in a way and you loose root access. There is definitely profits, but also negative aspects. It basically boils down to what the individual person require. Thanx

If you were to host a social site like face book, or something similart to wiki, then you would probably really like using cloud hosting for that. Mostly because it can scale to fit the community/size.

Hi

Even if you are going to launch video sites like youtube and dailymotion, cloud hosting will become a good option. Cloud servers are scalable where you can easily add or remove server resources as per your requirements. So it is cost effective as well. Cloud-based web servers comprises of multiple shared server resources on a hardware virtualized platform and can be accessed as a service.

Anyway Cloud hosting comes with two types, public cloud and private cloud

. As per the experts vision, in near future private cloud computing will take the place of dedicated hosting. Thanx
